Products Range
Hot and Cold Therapy EquipmentThermotherapy and cryotherapy equipment for physiotherapy departments - paraffin wax baths, hydrocollators and their packs, whirlpool and contrast baths, and cold therapy units.
Heat and cold are the treatments most often applied before and after everything else, which makes availability the practical question rather than capability. A hydrocollator with four packs and one with eight do the same thing; the difference is whether a therapist waits for a pack to come back to temperature. Pack count and tank capacity are what to size against your caseload.

Paraffin Wax Baths
Thermostatically controlled wax baths for hand and foot therapy, in three sizes.
Hydrocollators and Moist Heat Packs
Heated pack units in four, six and eight pack capacities, plus replacement packs. Size on pack count rather than tank volume.
Whirlpool and Contrast Baths

Cold and Deep Heat Therapy
Chilled pack storage and deep heating units.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hydrocollator and a paraffin wax bath?
A hydrocollator holds fabric packs in heated water; the packs are applied through towelling to larger areas such as the lumbar spine, shoulder or thigh. A wax bath holds molten paraffin at treatment temperature, and the hand or foot is dipped so the wax coats it completely. Wax reaches into the contours of fingers and toes that a flat pack cannot.
How many hydrocollator packs do I need?
Pack count rather than tank size decides how many patients an hour a unit can serve, because packs need time back in the tank to reheat. Four packs suits one treatment room, six suits two therapists, and eight suits a department treating continuously across several bays.
What is a contrast bath used for?
Contrast therapy alternates a limb between hot and cold water to drive a pumping response in the circulation. A twin-tank unit holds both at set temperatures so the timing is reproducible from session to session, which improvising with buckets does not achieve.
How should hydrocollator packs be applied?
Always through layers of towelling, never directly against skin. Packs are replaced when the filling no longer distributes evenly, because an uneven pack heats unevenly and creates hot spots the patient feels before the therapist sees anything wrong.
What is the difference between a limb and a full body whirlpool?
A limb whirlpool has a deeper, narrower tank sized for an arm or leg - our LCS-641 is 90 x 50 x 70 cm deep. A full body unit such as the LCS-642 is longer and shallower at 120 x 60 x 60 cm, so the trunk lies supported and a patient with hip or back problems can get in and out without climbing.
